  • What is the refining process of rice bran oil?
  • The refining process of rice bran oil begins after extraction and storage. The journey from crude to refined oil involves several key steps, starting with water degumming.
  • Why is rice bran crude oil difficult to refine?
  • The high acid value and dark color of rice bran crude oil make it difficult to refine rice oil. Nutrients are readily lost during the refining process. In addition, the production of trans-fatty acids, 3-chloropropanol ester, and other potentially harmful substances affects the quality and safety of rice oil products.
  • What are the technologies of rice bran oil?
  • The processing technologies of rice bran oil include degumming, deacidification, dewaxing, etc.. These technologies help refine the oil and maintain its bioactive compounds.
  • Why is sodium hydroxide important in rice bran oil refining?
  • In the refining of rice bran oil, which is prone to hydrolytic rancidity and high free fatty acid levels, an amount of base like sodium hydroxide is used to neutralize the free fatty acids in the crude oil. This is a common method called chemical refining or deacidification.
  • What is deacidification of rice bran oil?
  • Deacidification is the process of removing free fatty acids from crude rice bran oil. This process can be achieved through various methods such as alkali refining, distillation, mixing, re-esterification, and extraction. Among these, alkali refining has comprehensive effects like deacidification and decolorization, but it results in higher refining loss.
  • What is rice bran?
  • Rice bran is a byproduct of the rice milling industry obtained from milling of brown rice to produce white rice. It contains 15%¨C20% of oil. Apart from oil, rice bran is a promising source for proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins, tocopherol, ¦Ã-oryzanol, and phospholipids (Tao, 1989; Houston, 1972; Saunders, 1986).
